Is this how it is statewide?

Published

I'm currently almost finished with my first semester. In class you learn how to do the correct techniques of care. But every RN I have worked with so far hasn't even come close to what they teach us in class and lab. I barely see the RN's washing their hands, I've seen a nurse drop meds on the floor, pick them up and place them in the client's mouth, I've seen a nurse administer a bolus feeding and they dropped the plunger of the syringe on the floor. They picked it up and rinsed it off and put it back in and pushed the solution. :stone

Granted not all are as bad as others, but I was just curious if it is like this were you guys and gals are..........?

Is this just the how the majority of care goes down?

Specializes in ICU, CM, Geriatrics, Management.
... I too have seen some stuff at clinicals that freaked me out... nurses cleaning up code browns with no gloves (YUCK!!)...

Code Brown and no gloves?!?! What?!?!
